Who’d have thought that exit systems would one day really be a potential ‘health issue’…? The idea that you can pick a potentially life threatening disease by simply touching a button is something that just a few years ago seemed totally ridiculous. But with Covid less in the news nowadays, and the devastating effects still with tens of thousands of people, we're all being encouraged to take personal responsibility. Now, we’re learning about ‘Monkey Pox’, which is on the news bulletins every day and the health risks and the ease of transmission. One way our industry can help is providing simple solutions that help minimise risk and certainly help in the reduction of easily transmissible diseases.

New Low Cost Delivery Option for orders under £50 net
Let’s be honest, none of us like paying exorbitant delivery charges for the products we need. It always seems worse when we want to buy a low cost item and the cost of delivery can make it totally uneconomical. And if you start to search elsewhere for a ‘Free delivery’ option, the product price is usually priced a lot higher, or is not in stock. Frustrating, totally frustrating.

Lock Releases from Door Entry Direct
There is no one size fits all when it comes to an installation, and lock installations are no different; certain features may be essential on one job, but not on the next.
We aim to make life easier for our installers, and here we have picked out and compared some select locks from two of the most popular brands that we carry: CDVI and Dorcas.

Hands-Free Wi-Fi Monitors
Wi-Fi monitors are popular with end-users, especially in flats and new builds. Customers expect modern equipment that make their lives easier and integrate with their devices.
Tech is embedded in daily life, and people want the freedom to control their activities via a single device - Wi-Fi enabled monitors are a great tool to do so. Customers can download the accompanying app to speed up install. The app will also enable users to configure their system to their preferences. The app is easier to browse through rather than a physical monitor. This makes things easier for both the end-user and installer.

Using IP Door Entry Systems
What is an IP system?
An IP system is a door entry system which communicates on a network. Wiring is simplified as everything in the system is wired to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch which supplies the data as well as the power. This wiring is done by Network cable (CAT5/6 cable) and terminated via an RJ45 plug.

Two-wire door entry systems are becoming increasingly popular with installers who seek a quick and easy install compared to traditional-wired systems on the market. Given the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we acknowledge all those who may want to be on site for as little time as possible.
There are a number of reasons why two-wire systems are easy to install:
- If there is an existing installation in place, you can replace with a two- wire or traditional five-wire system. If your existing installation is a two-wire system, then you keep the original wiring. Traditional wiring requires more cabling.
